Action Family Counseling

Action Family Counseling provides for addiction treatment support in Bakersfield, California for teens, adults and families. They offer a mix of structured treatment and compassionate support that knows what families go through behind closed doors.

The facility has a full lineup of programs depending on where you are in your recovery. Their intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization programs are available for both teens and adults.

It allows clients to continue taking care of school, work and other responsibilities. Action Family Counseling accepts more insurance plans and offers self-pay options with an effort to keep things affordable.

Full Family Support

For teens who need more structure, Action Family has 24/7 residential care that focuses not just on staying sober but on learning how to feel stable again. And when clients are ready to ease back into life, their sober living homes offer a stepping stone with accountability and daily routines.

One of the things that makes Action different is how much they focus on the family as a whole. Their Parent and Teen Support Program brings families together during some of the hardest seasons whether that family is feeling totally lost or struggling with addiction.

Parents meet in groups led by other parents who've been through it. Teens can also join their own group with licensed counselors who help them work through choices and emotions without shame.

A Focus on Aftercare

Founder Cary Quashen is big on making sure people receive support long after treatment ends. Aftercare groups and ongoing counseling help make the transition back into daily life less lonely and a lot more stable. One reviewer praised the organization for helping them greatly in turning their life around.
